⚠ #HRW and #Amnesty investigation reveals #Iran gov't backed hackers have targeted activists, journalists, & researchers working on Middle East issues with phishing attacks.

@humanrightswatch infosec team attributes this campaign to state-backed threat actor #APT42.

I spent the past couple of weeks with @tek and @donncha investigating an ongoing social engineering and phishing campaign that impersonated a think tank based in #Lebanon to trick its targets and invite them to a summit.

2 HRW staff were targeted, and after investigating the infrastructure used, we found 18 other targets. at least 3 targets were successfully compromised by #APT42
